“I wanted to thank you for a great Plane Tuning course. It gave me a much better understanding of planes and their uses AND I was able to bring my 100 year old plane, which was in pretty sad condition, and have it cleaned, tuned and operating by the end of the day. A triumph! There’s more work to do on it but I now understand what has to be done and what’s more, think I might just be able to do it.”
